One question, though: this apparently is not the official Sony release, as listed her:

Hitchcock- Soundtrack details – SoundtrackCollector.com (http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/97025/Hitchcock)

According to the Cover you have posted, this must be the promo CD from the Academy of Motion Pictures, right?

I beg to differ, tangotreats. This is how mediainfo describes track 01:

Audio Format: FLAC
Format/Info: Free Lossless Audio Codec
Length: 41s 706ms
Bitrate-Mode: variable
Bitrate: 1 324 Kbps
Channels: 2
Sampling Rate: 44,1 KHz
BitDepth/String: 24 bits
Streaming Size: 6,58 MiB (100%)
Encoder Library used: libFLAC 1.2.1 (UTC 2007-09-17)

Now, I’m no expert in all these audio things, and I even don’t know what 24 bits means, but all I see is what mediainfo tells me about this track. Maybe you can explain it for the layman. 🙂

May I ask how you ripped and encoded it? It’s odd that Mediainfo thinks it’s 24-bit; either it’s lying or a dodgy conversion took place somewhere between ripping and encoding.

24-bit recordings have a higher dynamic range (ie, they can reproduce very quiet sounds more accurately) and therefore a lower overall level of noise.

I’m extremely grateful for the upload; I only bring this up to clarify issues… and because I know the attitude you’ll get off some people around here if you say something is what it isn’t? ("24 bit??? LIAR FAKE WTF BURN IN HELL!", etc, etc…)

Oh yes, I also HATE it when people start to bitch around about things they don’t agree upon. Why is it so hard to discuss something in a civilized manner?

Thanks for the technical input, even if it doesn’t seem to explain the discrepancy here. But I have learned something again! 🙂

This forum needs more of you… 😉

Thanks very much for the update! 🙂 Take care.
